THERMAL CONDUCTIVITYOF

INSULATING POWDERS

SOLTEQ®

MODEL: HE 157

This Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Powders Unit (Model: HE 157) has been specially designed to

allow students to experimentally determine the thermal conductivity of insulating powders such as

magnesium oxide, mica and kaolin. This complete benchtop unit comes with three stainless steel testmodules containing insulating powders to be determined their thermal conductivities.

DESCRIPTION

Each test module is supplied with a 200 W variable input

cartridge heater. Each test module is fitted with six

temperature sensors for measurements of T1 and T2.

A proper insulating material is fitted inside the test

modules to ensure heat transfer is in the radial direction

only. The unit has a control panel with digital indicators

for temperatures and heater power, a thermocouple

selector switch, and a heater power controller.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

The unit allows students to do the following experiments:

a) To determine the thermal conductivity of insulating

powders.

b) To compare the experimental results with known

values if available.
